Wine Advocate 90 points (Nov 2013)The 2010 Avancia Cuvee Mosteiro (100% Mencia from head-pruned vines planted between 1920 and 1935) underwent malo in French oak, and the wine spent 12 months in wood prior to being bottled. It displays lots of black and blue fruits (blueberries and a hint of raspberries). Deep, rich and full-bodied as well as elegant and precise, this beauty can be enjoyed over the next 5-6 years. Think of it as a ripe Loire Valley Cabernet Franc on steroids.
